Ing that plans are now being prepared for tie con-

Il, b. Beardsley, superintendent of
this division of the Milwaukee road, and
W. e. Peak, travelling freight agent for
the division, were In Yankton mp to
three o'clock this afternoon and during
that time they took d cutter and looked
over the city. Mr.. Beardsley has not
been as frequent a visitor to Yankton as
his predecessor, Mr.. Underwood, was,
but his visits prove more beneficial, mas
much as he comes each time in the IN
terest OF Yanktop SO far as our city US a
Milwaukee station is concerned. Dur
ing to-day's visit a preliminary examin-
alton OF depot and shop grounds was
made and with the opening OF spring
the company will begin making i'm
provements here of a substantial nature.
MIR. Peak said to o reporter: "We in
tend to do something for Yankton over
ii t~he.people here are talking against
u.s." Mr.. Peak probably did not mean
to convey the impression that Yankton
is particularly noted for hostility to the
Milwaukee road, because Mr.. Peak is a
gentleman of v~eracity. There is an old
grudge the company. holds. about some
gravel, but the people Of Yankton were
not to blame for that affair. A few men
il oficisl positions did the damage and
it shouldn't count at this late day.
Yankton will welcome the Milwaukee's
improvements with open arms and Mr..
Beardsley aad Mr.. Peak along with
them.

Last Nights Address In Behalf iOf ii,
Temperance Cauae.

Last Nixhts Address In Behalf iOf tho
Temperance Cauae.
There is but one explanation to be
drawn from the. @ n.attendance upon
Col.i Woodfofd's temperance lectures OF
many of the Yankton people, and that
is that absentees knew not what they
are missing. In the Yankton college
lecture course there are many able
orators, who upon their chosen subjects
can give information Of great value, but
very few Of them could advance argu-
meDts as conclusive in favor OF TEMPER
snce as those OF Col. Woodford. From
him comes the word of q man whose
teacher has been experience, the best OF
instructors. and the truths he: utters to
the inexperienced prove effectual warn.
ings against the vel known effects OF
~intemperance. Col. Woodford is NO
statistieisn, because of his b eljef that
the magnitude of the statistics
which can be quoted to-day is hey ond
the comprehension Of one man In ten.
He paints not the picture of a drinking
mans life, as seen from a pulpit, but his
arguments are simply the reasons aiven
in favor of temperance by a practical
man, q man who vas n Q physically a
giant, and who knows the degrading
power of intemperance. Last night
Col. Woodford .Etested the saloon,
taking not the lowest resort, nor
even the averaged place, but select
ing the one kept by the
man who is deemed in his community a
good citizen. His test was unbiased,
the saloon receiving all credit for good
order and other virtues, and in the end
made an effective argument. in behalf OF
abstinence. The invitation given those
DESTROYS OF signing the pledge was ac-
cepted by a large crowd. Col. Wood.
ford illustrated his fecture.with pictures
painted by his ~oratoricai brush which
were SO distinctly wrought as to in
hnence the whole audience. Tonight,
Personal Liberty will be discussed
and Col. Woodford should be heard to
be appreciated.
